Amid reports that #steel prices are up 30% and the fear of retaliatory #tariffs outside the steel industry, lawmakers are said to be considering how to limit the president's authority over #trade. Read my thoughts in Lawyer Monthly and follow along for continued analysis. https://bit.ly/2vcQ78y

Lawmakers are facing a head to head conflict with the US President as the effects of the steel tariffs are felt across the US. Below Geoffrey R. Morgan, Founding Partner at Morgan Legal Group, LLC, comments on the overall impact of the steel tariffs

The American Institute for International Steel's lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of President Trump's steel tariffs depends on a 50-year-old law that is rarely invoked, setting AIIS up for a long battle. Geoff Morgan talks to Lawyer Monthly about why.

The American Institute for International Steel (AIIS), SIM-TEX, LP and KURT ORBAN PARTNERS, LLC, the latter two both companies owned by the AIIS, recently filed suit in the United States Court of International Trade in New York City against the 25% t

Congratulations to the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA), which won the prestigious HUD Secretary’s award for Healthy Homes for its Thurgood Marshall Apartments in #Milwaukee. The project, supported by $273,060 in Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), is further evidence of the benefit that LIHTCs can have both for providing affordable housing and for economic development across the state. #LIHTC #AffordableHousing #MKE

Reports like this by Housing Action Illinois illuminate the need for more #affordablehousing in Illinois. Fortunately, a new bill on Governor Bruce Rauner's desk would prioritize tax credits for the redevelopment of historic properties slated for affordable housing. #historic #redevelopment #twill

This month, the Illinois General Assembly passed SB3527, expanding the availability of tax credits for historic redevelopments and establishing a new, statewide Illinois Historic Preservation Tax Credit. If signed into law, this could be a boon for developers and substantially alter the low-income housing landscape in Illinois. Qualifying developments would be eligible for up to $3 million in state credits.

In its 2018 Business Outlook, the German American Chamber Of Commerce reports more than half of #German companies doing business in the U.S. have lowered production expectations as a result of the skilled labor shortage. Real or perceived, the labor shortage has consequences for the health of #manufacturing industries. But according to Crain's Chicago Business, it may also present long overdue advancement opportunities for #women.

Germany is a major #export partner to Illinois and one of the state's largest investors, says Bruce Rauner to Crain's Chicago Business. His trip to Germany spotlights an even broader trend: it's a good time for German and American companies to be doing business together. #synergy #jointventures #MandA

Two Parker Poe attorneys write that they believe 2018 will see a growing emphasis on disputes arising from corporations' delays in notifying the public the affected individuals and regulatory bodies about their breaches.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released an updated statement and interpretative guidance to assist public companies in preparing disclosures related to cybersecurity risks and incidents. Read the key highlights here.
